Chapter 120: Live Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas!

After the initial shock, Bei Feng began to notice the damage caused by the expansion of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King. Bei Feng did not know if he should laugh or cry at the sight. The newly reconstructed rooms had only been recently built, but they had been destroyed again!
This time, the damage was much more thorough. The entire part of the building had been flattened by the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King!
At this point, Bei Feng suddenly found himself missing Mystic One and the rest very much. Although they didn't have much use, they at least served as very good errand boys! He didn't need to do everything by himself.
But there was nothing he could do in this situation. Bei Feng could only take another trip down to the village, to the place where he had previously bought the cheap wine. Then, he directly bought twenty large wine vats, each one with a diameter of 1 meter.
The shopkeeper looked at Bei Feng as though he was looking at a weirdo. This was the first time someone had come into his shop and not bought any wine. Instead, he actually asked for wine vats.
'Whatever. Selling those wine vats would earn me a profit of 4,000 yuan, which is much more profitable than selling wine anyway.'
A splendorous smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face as he beamed at Bei Feng. Those wine vats cost him about 700 yuan each, and were only worth 14,000 yuan in total. But to this esteemed customer of his, it was 900 yuan each.
Every one of the wine vats could contain roughly one thousand jin of wine, and their weight was naturally also rather shocking.
Bei Feng instructed the shopkeeper to send all the wine vats to the corner of the village, near the mud path which led to his mansion. From here, he began to transport the vats manually.
Even with his speed, it took over an hour before he completely finished bringing everything back. The main issue was that the large vats were not easy to transport with only his two hands. He could only bring two with him each time, so the continuous round trips wasted a lot of time.
By the time he was done, it was already 4 in the afternoon. This was the time when the sun was the hottest and the wind was the most lethargic. From a distance, one could even see the heat waves forming a hazy screen on the ground.
Of course, this amount of heat did not mean anything to Bei Feng. Even though he had been running up and down for over an hour, his breath remained steady and not even a drop of sweat could be found on his brows.
A faint aura of sovereignty hung about the carcass of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King, causing others not to dare to approach it subconsciously. The moment it appeared, even the two daring little fellows Insatiable and Black Hole were unwilling to go near it.
Bei Feng took a step forward and admired the gargantuan creature before him. With a thought, Extreme Arctic Frost materialized in his hands. With a flash of his arm, the powerful spear slashed outwards!
"Dang!"
Unexpectedly, instead of the usual cleaving sound of metal slicing through flesh, an ear piercing metallic clang like that of weapons clashing sounded out!
"What a strong defense!"
Bei Feng gasped in shock as he looked at the one centimeter deep whitish scratch on the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's black scales.
He did not know this, but the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King usually dwelled within the deepest part of the Frigid Spring Lake. The water pressure in the unknown depths of the lake was incredibly terrifying. If the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King did not have a sufficiently powerful body, it would have been crushed by the water pressure long ago.
Now that Bei Feng had an idea of the strength of the beast's scales, he no longer bothered to clash against it with brute force. Instead, he walked over to the head of the Dragon King.
'Although I did not use my full strength in the last strike, it should be impossible to break these scales even with a full-powered strike! However, the weakest part in its armor is undoubtedly its head area!'
Bei Feng looked at the crazy dent on the beast's head with his eyes blazing with shock. The dent took up a third of the massive head! "What kind of force was it that could cause a damage of this scale?!" He wondered aloud.
The scales around the injury had all been shattered and massive cracks adorned the intact scales on the creature's head, spreading outwards like a spiderweb. It was like a meteor had smashed into the beast, knocking it out in one blow. Bits of scales littered the floor along with the expansion of the carcass, and even more of them was embedded in the wound.
Bei Feng stuck the spear into one of the larger cracks and pried at the flesh. With a pulling motion, a small piece of meat as large as a bowl was removed from the side of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon's head.
"Luckily, the beast's flesh is not as hard as its scales. Otherwise, that would be too fraudulent!"
Bei Feng picked up the piece of meat and brought it to his nose. Surprisingly, there was no fishy smell or anything of the like despite leaving it in the well for so long and putting it under the sun for an entire afternoon. Instead, there was a light fragrance and even the blood smelled rather bewitching.
Putting the meat aside, Bei Feng began to work on descaling the enormous dragon fish seriously. Following the path of the cracked scales, piece after piece of scales was removed by Bei Feng, forming a small pile on the side.
Large amount of faint azure blood flowed out and was collected with the wine vats Bei Feng had prepared. The temperature of this faint azure blood was extremely low, definitely below zero Celsius!
Using an entire hour of fervent work, Bei Feng cleanly pried off all the scales on the belly of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King!
With a slash from Extreme Arctic Frost, an over one meter wide gash appeared on the belly of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King!
In just a short moment, the first wine vat was completely filled with faint azure blood. Without any hesitation, Bei Feng immediately pulled a second wine vat over. Then, he sealed the first wine vat carefully and put it to the side.
Only when the blood finally stopped flowing did Bei Feng enlarge the wound with Extreme Arctic Frost. Four vats of blood were filled up like that, and the belly of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King was finally completely split open by Bei Feng!
Of course, a small amount of blood was wasted in the process, spilling onto the ground and causing Bei Feng no small amount of heartache.
The first thing Bei Feng noticed upon cutting open the belly of the beast was a cluster of white bundles. These bundles were actually thin membranes, each one containing a Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana! These fishes had not been born yet, but their body size was not much inferior to those regular Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas in the Frigid Spring Lake which had lived for awhile already! Each one was around 80 cm long.
The ones nearer to the center of the cluster were slightly bigger than the rest. The Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana in the very heart of the cluster was even over four meter long!
'I wonder if these fellows are dead or not?'
Bei Feng stepped into the belly of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King through the gap that he had cut open and looked thoughtfully at the cluster of fetal membrane.
Gritting his teeth, Bei Feng endured the gross feeling in his heart and forcefully tore a membrane apart. The Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana inside it slipped out and flopped lifelessly to the ground. It was obvious that the fish had already died hours ago.
Bei Feng refused to give up and continued tearing at the membranes like a mad man. However, all the fishes which came out were all dead.
"There's still 10 more!"
Bei Feng was like a gambler who had smashed his only golden egg. All his hopes lay in the rewards inside of the egg!
"Pa! Pa!"
The moment he tore the membrane apart, an over 1 meter long Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana fell out and flopped about on the ground violently.
Bei Feng stared dazedly for a moment before crying out in joy! He grabbed the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana in his arms and ran out.
He grabbed a piece of plastic film and dashed towards a small brook a few meters away from the old mansion. Holding the fish in one hand, he hurriedly dug a half meter deep and ten meter wide hole next to the brook.
Then, he spread the piece of plastic over the hole and formed a channel from the brook to his hole. Seeing the water slowly rising, Bei Feng nodded in satisfaction and dropped the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana into the water.
Without pausing, he dashed back to the mansion and tore the rest of the membranes apart, finding three more Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas alive!
Among those live Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas was the four meter long fellow. It was also the only Grade 3 Variant Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana!
Luckily, although the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas had very long bodies, they were not actually very wide. The half meter deep pond was just enough to cover them.
The four surviving Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas looked rather dispirited and inert. They only moved a bit once in a while, and seemed like they might not survive for long. Gritting his teeth forcefully, Bei Feng ran back and grabbed a vat of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King blood over.
"Please do not disappoint me! You must not die! Otherwise, my loss will be really huge this time! I'll be depending on you guys to provide me with an endless supply of Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana to eat in the future!"
Right, Bei Feng was actually thinking of rearing and breeding Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas!
Bei Feng stoppered the water channel and enduring the pain in his heart, poured the entire vat of fain azure blood into the mini-pond!
